PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Mahitha had promised good support to Srikar.

The given sentence is in passive voice: "Srikar had been promised good support by Mahitha."

To convert it to active voice, we need to identify the subject (Mahitha), the verb (promised), and the object (good support to Srikar). The passive voice emphasizes the action's effect on Srikar. The active voice emphasizes Mahitha's action.

Let's analyze the options:

  • Option 1: "Mahitha will have promised Srikar good support." This is future perfect tense, which doesn't match the past perfect tense of the original sentence.
  • Option 2: "Mahitha has promised Srikar good support." This is present perfect tense, also not matching the original tense.
  • Option 3: "Mahitha had promised good support to Srikar." This is the correct answer. It uses the past perfect tense, correctly reflecting the original tense and placing Mahitha as the subject performing the action.
  • Option 4: "Mahitha promises good support to Srikar." This is simple present tense, again inconsistent with the original sentence.

Therefore, the active voice equivalent of "Srikar had been promised good support by Mahitha" is "Mahitha had promised good support to Srikar." The tense remains consistent, and the sentence clearly shows Mahitha as the actor performing the action of promising.
